Chapter 189: The Mire
In Beihai County, Liu Ji was confined to the small courtyard of the Water Maiden, and as time went by, Liu Ji became more and more convinced, because he became more and more convinced that Ji Wen had no so-called evidence to prove that he was related to the so-called murder and robbery in the capital, and yesterday's actions were nothing more than intimidation and deception.
Liu Ji was secretly annoyed in his heart, he was also a dignified Beihai driver, and he was also stained with the imperial family, Ji Wen and others treated him like this, which was obviously a kind of contempt and insult to himself. After deciding this, he will definitely go to the court and ask Gwenn for an explanation. casually framed himself, this matter can't be considered over like this, and it can't be done without giving an explanation.
However, seeing dozens of people under Ji Wen gathered in the small courtyard, Liu Ji was also surprised in his heart. I'm afraid things are a bit tricky to move people like this, otherwise there wouldn't be such a manpower configuration. If Zhou Meng's incident is true, the relationship between himself and Zhou Meng is quite deep, but it is difficult to explain this. The best result is that they can't catch Zhou Meng at all, so there is no way.
For a whole day, Ji Wen didn't bother Liu Ji at all, and only ordered someone to lock him and the water girl in the house to eat and drink well, and didn't come to talk to him. Liu Ji couldn't stay comfortably, he always paid attention to the movement of the people in the small courtyard.
After dark, Liu Ji saw through the crack in the window that Ji Wen was leading more than 20 of his men to set out in the nest. In addition to the guards, the rest of the dozens of people left the small courtyard silently and disappeared into the darkness, and the small courtyard returned to its usual quietness, but this silence did not calm Liu Ji's heart, but made him even more uneasy. Because it is impossible to predict what these people are doing, this kind of unknown is actually the most torturous.
Liu Ji spent the night with his eyes open, and when the sky broke at dawn, he really couldn't hold his eyelids, and just closed his eyes dimly under the persuasion of the water girl, he heard the sound of footsteps in the courtyard suddenly, and Ji Wen's deep voice sounded in the courtyard: "Escort a cadre of prisoners into the West House and detain them, everyone washes and rests, and begins to interrogate the prisoners in a while." ”
All the subordinates whispered promises, and after a chaotic scolding of their respective ping-pong, everything returned to calm. Liu Ji propped himself up, opened his bloodshot eyes and asked the water girl in a low voice, "Who did they arrest?" ”
The water girl lying by the window said in horror: "I have arrested several people, and I don't know any slaves, and they are all locked up in the West House." ”
Liu Ji couldn't lie down comfortably anymore to rest, and after getting dressed in a hurry, and after tidying up his clothes and bun, the door clicked, and someone opened the door.
"Don't drive Liu, Ji Shicao asks you to come out and speak." One person said politely.
Liu Jiqiang calmed himself and said, "Got it." After straightening his clothes again, Liu Ji slowly walked out of the room and into the hall.
After the glimmer of the morning, the light on the hall was very dark, and the Jiwen clay sculpture sat on the top chair, with a cup of steaming tea on a small stool beside him. There were seven or eight black-clothed men standing around, all of them like clay sculptures and wood carvings, holding the blades on their waists, and looking at Liu Ji in a daze.
Seeing Liu Ji's arrival, Ji Wen bowed slightly and said, "Don't drive Liu, can you sleep comfortably all night?" My brother didn't bother with it. ”
Liu Ji said: "No, but I didn't sleep either; How can you fall asleep when you are imprisoned here for no reason. ”
Ji Wen smiled, took a sip of tea, put down the teacup, and said: "It's not right for Liu Beijia to talk like this, we have discussed it, in order to avoid suspicion, you have to stay with us for two more days, so as not to be criticized and go to the ventilator." You wrote the leave note yourself, we didn't force you to do this. ”
Liu Ji snorted coldly and was silent.
Ji Wen stood up and walked to Liu Ji's side, his thin face was full of smiles: "Don't stay awake all night, and I don't want to go." But the good news is that Liu Beijia doesn't need to stay here for two days. ”
Liu Ji was pleasantly surprised: "You let me go?" Is it over? ”
Gwenn laughed and said, "Isn't it over?" But there's the bad news to tell Liu Beijia, you have to confront someone and clarify a few things before you leave you. ”
Liu Ji was stunned and said, "How do you say this?" ”
Ji Wen sighed slightly, waved his hand, and said, "Bring it up." ”
The two big men entered the West House, and after a while, dragged one out, who was tied up with a rag in his mouth and covered in blood. The hair was scattered, and the face could not be seen clearly, so he couldn't help but struggle and writhe.
"Who is this?" Liu Ji wondered.
Givan smiled, "You shouldn't be a stranger to him, why don't you take a look at him yourself?" ”
Liu Ji had an ominous premonition in his heart, frowned and looked at the person covered in blood at his feet, gently grabbed his hair bun and lifted his face, that person had four faces, thick eyebrows and short beards, and a signature rosacea nose was the most familiar, this person was not Zhou Meng or who was it?
Zhou Meng stuffed rags in his mouth and whined, Liu Ji pulled out the rags in his mouth, and Zhou Meng shouted loudly: "Brother Liu, save me, save me." ”
Liu Ji exclaimed: "Why did you come to Beihai County?" When did it come? ”
Zhou Meng was stunned and said, "Brother Liu, haven't I always been in Beihai County?" I came with you when you came to Beihai to take up your post, why do you ask such a thing? ”
Liu Ji buzzed in his head, and a layer of goosebumps appeared on his body, and he took a few steps back and frowned: "Zhou Meng, don't be untrustworthy, when did I bring you to Beihai County?" ”
Zhou Meng shouted: "Brother Liu, are you going to see death and not save you?" If you really do this, brother, I don't care about anything, I want to tell everything in the capital, and I can't escape from it. ”
Liu Ji shouted angrily: "It's nonsense, I don't even know what you're talking about." Outrageous. ”
Zhou Meng sneered: "Okay, good, good Liu Ji, it turns out that you are such a person, I can see you clearly." ”
Liu Ji was angry in his heart, and his mind was groggy after not sleeping all night, but he still began to understand that he seemed to have fallen into a huge conspiracy. The sudden appearance of this week completely shattered his hope of getting out, and this time it was a big trouble.
A big man kicked Zhou Meng twice to stop his yelling, Ji Wen looked at the two of them with a smile and stroked his beard, and only then did he slowly speak: "Liu Beijia, at this time, what else do you have to say?" Zhou Meng has been arrested, in an inn in the south of the city, only two alleys away from your Liu Beijia's residence. We already knew where he was going, and yesterday we wanted to give you a chance to make meritorious deeds, but unfortunately you had to force us to take people personally. Is there anything else you'd like to say? ”
Liu Ji pointed at Zhou Meng and said, "Ji Shicao, don't believe his words, I have never seen this person since I came from the capital." ”
Givin smiled, "I believe in you, but what's the use of me believing in you?" Zhou Meng, you honestly confess, are you responsible for several murders and robberies in the capital? ”
Zhou Meng gritted his teeth and said, "So what?" But it was all at the behest of Liu Ji. Liu Ji slept with Ma Quan's wife, Ma Quan asked him for a theory, and he ordered me to kill Ma Quan. Liu Ji said that he has the protection of the crown prince, and he will never let people track me down. In addition, the thefts in the Weiguo Mansion, the Mansion of Marquis Chen, and the mansion of Zhang Dahu were all planned by Liu Ji, and the murders caused by the discovery were also related to this. He is unkind and unjust, and today all the beans are poured into the bamboo tube, and everyone is finished together. ”
Givin shouted, "Do you dare to draw these confessions? ”
Zhou Meng said: "Why don't you dare? I naturally dare to do what I do, unlike some people who just want to shirk responsibility. ”
Liu Ji's mind thundered. Suddenly, he pounced, grabbed Zhou Meng's neck, and shouted: "Zhou Meng, why do you want to frame me, the thief you killed this day?" I treat you well every day, why do you treat me like this? I will kill you, thief. ”
Liu Ji's hands were like hooks, embedded in Zhou Meng's neck, Zhou Meng's limbs were tied and he couldn't dodge, his pinched eyes rolled and his tongue spit out, Ji Wen made a look, and the people around him rushed up. Pull Liu Ji away. There was a sound of chains, and Liu Ji was shackled.
Liu Ji shouted, "Ji Shicao, do you really believe the words of this thief? When I Liu Ji was in the capital, I was also a dignified Zuo Xiao guard Cao, and I was still a relative of the Prince's Mansion, how could I do such a thing? ”
Givin sneered: "We only believe in the evidence, and I don't believe the rest. ”
Liu Ji gasped for a long time and shouted loudly: "I understand, you are deliberately framing me, Ji Wen, you are so bold, even I dare to frame me." ”
Jiwen laughed and said, "Don't drive Liu, if you talk nonsense again, don't blame me for not giving you face." Your business is not over yet, take Zhou Meng down and draw the prisoner, and bring others to commit it. ”
Liu Ji was dumbfounded, and five or six people who were also tied with their hands and feet gagged were dragged out of the West House and thrown at Liu Ji's feet.
